On Wednesday, April 18, the Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications
will have its final presentation of The Caldwell Café series for the 2011-2012 academic
school year. The guest speaker will be Emmy award-winning television news anchor Jim Vance.

Jim Vance is the anchor for News4's 6 p.m. and 11 p.m. editions for NBC in Washington,
D.C. Part of the team since 1969, Vance started as a General Assignment reporter and moved
to the anchor desk in 1972. In his role, he provides special reports on a wide variety of
issues, reporting from all over the United States and to several countries, including El
Salvador, South Africa and Vietnam.

Vance will speak one-on-one with host Professor Earl Caldwell in the Scripps Howard
television studio at 6:15 p.m. A reception will immediately follow the taping. The live
taping of The Caldwell Café is scheduled to air at a later date on Channel 65.

The Caldwell Café series is named after Earl Caldwell, a nationally renowned journalist,
who is a writer-in-residence with the Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications.
The series was designed as a vehicle for Caldwell to expose students to media and journalism
professionals in a relaxed environment.
